QLD:New jet ski safety reforms
Under new Queensland reforms .. tourists will have to stick to a speed limit and be
tested for their driving skills when hiring a jet ski.
Marine Infrastructure minister CRAIG WALLACE says the changes have been prompted by
the death of British tourist SRIDHAR SHEKAR ... who was killed when he crashed into a
boat's anchor chain on the Gold Coast Broadwater in 2008.
Currently .. private jet ski users not riding under supervision require a recreational
boating licence but tourists using jet skis through a hire company don't need a licence.
